“Well done, keep going like that” - Cristiano Ronaldo filmed being annoyed by referee during Al-Nassr win over Neom 

Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted arguing with the referee during Al Nassr's 3-1 win over Neom FC in the Saudi Pro League. The Portuguese superstar was furious with the timing of the official blowing his whistle for half-time at the King Khalid Sport City Stadium.

Al-Nassr maintained their winning start to the league campaign with their eighth win in as many games. They sealed a 3-1 victory over Neom on Saturday, November 8, with Angelo Gabriel, Ronaldo, and Joao Felix getting on the scoresheet.

The match was goalless at halftime, and Ronaldo was not happy with the referee blowing his whistle while his side were on the attack. He wanted the official to give them a chance to finish the attack and was spotted talking to them before heading down the tunnel for the break.

The cameras were close to the action and the Portuguese superstar was heard saying:

"Well done, well done, keep going like that! You do it a good game. Very good game you do."

Al-Nassr managed to start on the right foot in the second half, with Angelo scoring just 2 minutes after the break. Cristiano Ronaldo doubled the lead in the 65th minute through a penalty.

Ahmed Abdo Jaber made it 2-1 with six minutes left to make it an exciting finish, but Joao Felix ended all hopes of a comeback by adding a third two minutes later.

Cristiano Ronaldo complains a lot, said Saudi referee

Saudi Pro League referee Said Martinez claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo complains a lot on the pitch. He said that the Al-Nassr captain is never happy with decisions go against them, and said (via GOAL):

"Cristiano Ronaldo is very difficult due to his temperament. He is a very competitive person, which makes him feel there's a lot of injustice towards him, so he complains a lot. We disallowed two goals for him, with VAR and everything, but there was a play that upset him because he felt he was fouled in attack, leading to a goal against them."

"They were losing. He stayed 10 metres away from me and said: 'It's always the same with you lot, you always think you're the stars, but we don't bring you here to be the stars, we are the stars'. He started calmly but then got agitated and I just looked at him provocatively to see if he would get closer to me, but he didn't."

Al-Nassr are three points clear of second-placed Al-Taawoun after eight matches this season.
